Free NFL Picks: Week 15

Posted: 16th December 2009 by Will Holt in NFL
The best cappers in the world play systems and they don't force picks. This is why I am dishing out free NFL picks and sit with a 38-38 record. It's okay fellow degenerates. I know you are looking for a free pick here and free pick there. The search is finally over and as I have a system that is hitting over the 60 percent clip and it does not involve fading ...

Free NFL Picks: Week 13

Posted: 1st December 2009 by Will Holt in NFL
Thanks Wes. I really appreciate it. I go up in flames with the Lions, Rams, Bengals, and Patriots and you have the audacity to lie there exposing yourself to me? ItÆs okay little man, IÆm gonna bounce back this week because I promise to never put well-earned money on terrible teams. WhatÆs that you say Wes? Oh, right. I shouldnÆt bet against God-awful teams either. That whole idea of laying 14.5 points to the ...

Free NFL Picks: Week 12

Posted: 24th November 2009 by Will Holt in NFL
Every Thanksgiving we gather together with our families, eat tons of turkey, pretend we are thankful for something, watch our crazy uncle get hammered, and watch the Detroit Lions get obliterated. Generally, none of us would watch the Lions play, even if you paid us. But slap that terrible product on the tube at 12:30 in the middle of the week and we are all over it. Schedule the Lions for MondayáNight ...

Phildalephia Eagles-Chicago Bears: Wake Me Up When It’s Over

Posted: 22nd November 2009 by Will Holt in NFL
The NFL flex-scheduling procedures kick into effect this weekend and it is shocking that no game replaced the atrocious matchup between Philadelphia and Chicago. America would love to watch Indianapolis travel to Baltimore, but they were treated to Peyton Manning last Sunday night. Option No. 2 would have been New England hosting the New York Jets, but the Pats were tangled up with Indy last weekend. The Chargers and Broncos could have ...

Free NFL Picks: Week 10

Posted: 11th November 2009 by Will Holt in NFL
25 years ago the Baltimore Colts skipped town and headed to the bright lights and extravagant city of Indianapolis. It makes sense. Dump the crab cakes, nights on the Chesapeake and trips to the beach for...uh...um. Yeah, I'm not sure what you do in Indianapolis. Apparently the only thing to do was lose. The Colts did it well and they did it often. In fact the Colts never had a 10-win season between ...

Free NFL Picks: Week 7

Posted: 25th October 2009 by Will Holt in NFL
Close your eyes after you read the next sentence, wait until you can conjure up an image and then open them. Think of something really awesome. Now think of the complete opposite. That's what I was last week. I went 1-6 boys and girls, a record highlighted by my outright prediction of the Tennessee Titans over the New England Patriots. Worst. Pick. Ever. My winning percentage dropped from 60 percent to 54 percent and my ...

Free NFL Picks: Week Six

Posted: 13th October 2009 by Will Holt in NFL
I feel your pain little fella. The NFL is becoming almost unwatchable. If it weren't for gambling I don't think anyone could watch an entire Sunday slate of the slop that is called the NFL. And how in the world does DirecTV make money with their Sunday Ticket? I would love to know the ratings for the game between the Cleveland Browns and the Buffalo Bills this weekend. Or how about the Jacksonville Jaguars ...

There’s No Crying in Baseball

Posted: 10th October 2009 by Will Holt in MLB
Can someone round up Tom Hanks? He needs to have a sit down with Ron Gardenhire, the Minnesota Twins and their fans. We need good 'ol Tom to remind everyone, "There's no crying in baseball."á Enough already with the blown call by Phil Cuzzi on Joe Mauer's ground-rule double in the top of the 11th. We all keep hearing the same argument: Mauer would have been on second and he would have scored on ...

Free NFL Picks: Week Five

Posted: 7th October 2009 by Will Holt in NFL
Are those tasty treats? Nope. That my friend is the out-of-division schedule played by the NFC East. I can't waitáuntil these teams are done with thisápathetic schedule and actually start playing legitimate teams outside of the division. Now I must admit that I am a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan, but even they are the beneficiaries of an incredibly soft schedule thus far. The best team in the division is the New York Giants and there ...

Free NFL Picks: Week Four

Posted: 30th September 2009 by Will Holt in NFL
I think she's looking for my weekly winners so let's get to it. And is that a FUPA I see next to her? At any rate. This is the week where I honestly believe the line maker is looking at the public perception and not at the game itself. Looking at the card this week I see some lines that are based on public opinion and not on the game itself. With this ...
